O'Rourke joins calls to impeach Trump

Former congressman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) is voicing support for beginning impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

“He has a lot of hand movement -- I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump said Thursday at the White House, referring to O’Rourke. Trump said he’ll take on any challenger , and that he’ll be hard to beat with his record on the economy.

President Donald Trump mocked his latest Democratic challenger , former Representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas, and “He has a lot of hand movement -- I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump said Thursday at the White House, referring to O’Rourke. “Is he crazy or is that just the way he acts?”

President Trump used his speech in Louisiana on Tuesday to take shots at his potential 2020 Democratic challengers for the White House – launching attacks at former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, among others.

Speaking about his administration’s energy agenda at the LNG Export Facility in Hackberry, La., Trump veered off script to mock O’Rourke’s campaign reboot.

Bernie Sanders mocked Donald Trump ' s comments about Hillary Clinton using the restroom during the most recent Democratic debate.

“Beto’s falling fast, what the hell happened?” Trump asked. “He’s trying to restart his campaign. Doesn't work out too well, history has said that's trouble, but he's going to restart his campaign.”

O’Rourke, who made national headlines last fall when he lost a close race for Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s seat, has recently been hit by a slew of bad press and falling poll numbers that have seen him drop far behind frontrunners like Biden and Sanders.

On Biden and Sanders, Trump called the Vermont lawmaker “crazy,” but said he had “more energy” than Biden.

“I don't know what the hell happened to Biden - that doesn't look like the guy I knew,” he said. “Bernie's crazy, but Bernie’s got a lot more energy than Biden…energy to get rid of your jobs.”

Trump vs Biden may not be the match Democrats are hoping for

Trump is ready to demolish his Democrat opponent – don’t underestimate his political smarts.

Since then Trump has mocked Booker several times, including twice at rallies and once on Monday I saw him up there the other day, that hair getting whiter and whiter and he’ s getting crazier and At Saturday’ s rally, Trump intimated that the Democratic field was simply too boring, arguing that every

Despite Trump’s comments on the two Democratic frontrunners, a recent poll conducted by The Hill and Harris X has Biden holding a six-point advantage over Trump and a CNN poll has Sanders also with a six-point lead over the president.

He added dismissively that there are "350 million people and that's the best we can do" with Democratic candidates.

Besides lambasting his Democratic rivals, Trump focused his speech on his administration's efforts to ramp up liquefied natural gas exports – arguing that it has boosted jobs and cemented the U.S.'s role as an energy provider for international markets.

ISO affirmation: Trump has aides vouch that he's 'very calm'.
Sometimes even the president of the United States needs somebody to vouch for him. No, Trump insisted Thursday, he did not have a temper tantrum a day earlier when he cut off a White House meeting with congressional Democrats after just three minutes. To prove it _ in the middle of a meeting with farmers _ he called on five members of his staff to bear witness to his demeanor. One by one, his advisers dutifully stepped forward to testify, saying Trump had been "very calm," albeit "direct," in his meeting with the Democrats.
